NEW YORK Bernard Hopkins called Joe Smith Jr. over for a quick chat three months ago.

Smith vs Barrera is a good fight. Winner establishes themselves as #4 behind Ward, Kov and Chickenson

why u want credit for beating 50 years old hopkins, i'm one of the biggest ali fans here and even i dont give him any credit for beating archie moore.

I actually think this was a good performance from Smith. He would probably give Hopkins trouble closer to his prime but I think a younger Hopkins doesn't fall through the ropes. With that being said no one is going to give this guy credit for beating a senior citizen. Hopkins should never taken this fight.

What kind of credit does he want exactly? Nobody argues that he knocked Bernard out of the ring and won by KO. Does he want rose petals at his feet?

Shut up Joe. Now go shovel some more bricks and then take your lunch break. You shall speak when told to!
